Killing God - Chapter 227
Chapter 227 Ancient Palace of Suppressing Dragon
The thick fog was strange, but it dispersed for no apparent reason. Seeing the surroundings once again quieten down into a deathly silent bloodthirsty forest, Shen Shi was also speechless.
At this moment, if he could turn around, he really wanted to take Little Hei directly. However, in this mysterious and unfathomable place, there was clearly no way to retreat. The only direction he could travel was in front of the main road beneath his feet.
In the distance, there was a door.
To be exact, it was a door, a tall door.
Shen Shi led Little Hei through the Bloodthirsty Forest. During the last part of the journey, he carefully looked around. However, the Bloodthirsty Devil Trees seemed to be very quiet, and none of them showed any intention of attacking them.
Until they reached the gate.
This was a black door. It was very tall, very large, and very wide. It could not be seen clearly from afar. However, once he walked under the door, Shen Shi’s first reaction was to feel like an ant. The two black doors stood upright, taller than the tall Bloodthirsty Tree around them. At the same time, they extended to both sides and directly stabbed into the forest. Because of the cover of the leaves, Shen Shi could not see where the door had reached. However, it felt as if the forest of Bloodthirsty Tree had been blocked by the door.
Inside and outside the door, there might be two completely different worlds.
Shen Shi suddenly felt a little nervous. Ever since he had an accident at the foot of Mount Gaoling and was washed here by the strange red river, everything around him had become extremely strange. Not only were the rare Blood Devouring Devil Trees that were rumored to have formed into forest, there was even a thick fog that could devour all living beings. And what would be behind this sudden black door?
However, in the current situation, there seemed to be no other way to retreat.
Shen Shi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he walked to the huge black door and reached out with his palm, trying to push the black door open. Beside him, Little Hei stared intently, seemingly a little nervous.

The black door looked incomparably majestic and tall, but Shen Shi pushed his tentacles lightly and opened them. He did not feel any resistance at all. The originally nervous Shen Shi was instead startled and subconsciously took a step back.
A slit appeared in the huge black door. There was no sound as it moved forward and backward. A few faint yellow rays of light flowed out from behind the door. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before finally walking forward. He turned around and walked in through the slit.
At the entrance, there was an extremely tall passageway behind the door. The ground beneath his feet and the top of his head were about ten zhang tall, including the large walls on both sides. They were all made of large cyan-grey stones. Each of the cyan-grey stones was cut into square pieces and arranged in turn, seemingly without any vitality, extending into the depths of the passageway.
Above the tunnel, Every once in a while, there was a brazier shaped like a lamp hanging in the air. The dim yellow flames were quietly burning in the air. The light from before was emitted from there. However, when Shen Shi looked at the flames, he felt that they were different from the flames he had seen before. However, there was something wrong with them, and he couldn’t tell at once.
Little Hei suddenly called out in a low voice beside him. Shen Shi frowned and looked back. He saw that Little Hei was looking behind him. The black door that had just entered had silently closed behind him.
Shen Shi’s face turned slightly pale. He walked over and tried to explore the black door for a while. However, when he pushed the door open earlier, it seemed to be very easy. At this moment, there seemed to be no way for him to pull the black door open. No matter how he pushed the black door, the tall door remained standing.
After being busy for a long time, Shen Shi gave up dispiritedly. He thought to himself, “Is this the meaning of entering without leaving?” He turned around and looked at Little Hei, who was standing at the side. He saw that the Little Hei pig looked calm and was looking curiously at the strange passageway around it.
Shen Shi shook his head and whispered, “Let’s go. We can’t get out anymore. Let’s go ahead and take a look.”
Little Black snorted, as if he had agreed to it.
Within the passageway built by the azure-gray boulder, the figures of a man and a pig were pulled out by the dim yellow light. They carefully walked towards this strange and mysterious place step by step. Shen Shi quickly discovered that the scale of the buildings here was far beyond his imagination.
Just the green-gray passageway behind the black door, they had walked for more than a hundred zhang, yet they still couldn’t see the end. The braziers silently hung high in the air. Under the dim yellow light of the fire, it always gave people the feeling that time was stagnating here.
Shen Shi gradually felt a burst of unease in his heart. Although he knew from the beginning that he had probably accidentally intruded into an extremely dangerous and strange place, looking at this unfamiliar and spacious passageway in front of him, and thinking back to the Bloodthirsty Demon Tree and the strange thick fog outside the Black Gate, perhaps the source of all this danger and strangeness was at the end of the maze-like passageway behind the Black Gate?
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in front of him. A few dozen feet away, it suddenly widened. At the same time, a stone stele over fifty feet tall appeared and stood in the middle of the passage.
Shen Shi’s spirits instantly lifted. Although he didn’t know if this change was dangerous, the azure-gray color that seemed to never change along the way was truly unbearable. Shen Shi even suspected that if an ordinary person stayed in that azure-gray passageway for a long time, would he go crazy?
He brought Little Black and quickened his pace. Soon, he arrived in front of the tall stone tablet. At the same time, he saw four large words carved on the front of the stone tablet from top to bottom.
Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace.
When the words entered Shen Shi’s eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled with disbelief. In this world, Amongst the cultivators of the Primordial Chaos World, Who doesn’t know the prestige and prestige of the four great sects in the world, Apart from Shen Shi’s Ling Xiao Sect, The other four were the Heavenly Sword Palace, which had always been good friends with the High Firmament Sect. Apart from the Origin Sect, which was vaguely regarded as the leader of the four righteous sects for 10,000 years, there was also the last great sect. It was founded by Ji Rongxuan, who ranked second among the six human saints in the past and was second only to Yuan Wentian. It echoed the Ling Xiao Sect, which was located in the southern sea. The sect was located in the Dragon Suppressing Palace in the northern Great Snowplains of the Primordivine Meng Main World.
Dragon Suppressing Palace and Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace. There was actually only one word difference between the two names. Could it be that this mysterious and strange place had something to do with the Dragon Suppressing Palace that had been famous for tens of thousands of years?
Or was it just a coincidence?
Shen Shi stood in front of the stone tablet. For a moment, he fell into a daze. After pondering for a moment, He still felt that it was a coincidence that Zhenlong Palace was one of the four great sects. The size, strength, and influence of the sect were not below Lingxiao Sect’s. If this was indeed a mountain hall in Zhenlong Palace, it shouldn’t be such a deathly silent scene, let alone those extremely vicious Blood Devouring Devil Trees outside the ancient hall.
At this moment, the little black pig suddenly moved closer. However, it did not seem to be interested in the handwriting on the stone tablet. Instead, it looked down at the stone tablet. Shen Shi was shocked by those four words at the beginning, but he didn’t pay attention to anything else. At this moment, he looked in Xiao Hei’s direction and couldn’t help but be stunned.
Since ancient times, the Primordial Chaos World had inherited all sorts of legends, and there were even all sorts of exotic beasts and demonic birds. Among them, there was a very special type of exotic beast. The most famous image was the giant tortoise-shaped, camel-backed stone tablet called Ba Xia. I wonder how many buildings have this kind of exotic beast appearance, The image of the camel-backed stone tablet could be said to have been deeply rooted in the hearts Originally, Shen Shi subconsciously thought that this place should also be under a tyrant, but after looking at it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. After looking carefully for a while, he was stunned to discover that there was indeed an exotic beast under this giant stone tablet, but it was not under a tyrant, but a Yin Dragon.
The stone tablet suppressed the Yin Dragon.
The inscription was Dragon Suppressing.
Could this be how the name of the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace came to be?
Shen Shi looked at the stone tablet with some confusion. Could it be that deep within the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace, there really was a primordial Yin Dragon that only existed in legends since ancient times and had never even appeared in history books?
If that was the case, an ordinary human cultivator like him would probably be like an ant in front of such an ancient dragon.
Shen Shi felt a little uneasy in his heart. When he looked at the passageway of the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace, he felt that it became even more gloomy. Shen Shi sighed in his heart and circled around the stone tablet from the side. He turned around and saw that the back of the stone tablet was flat without any additional writing.
The Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace … Shen Shi suddenly thought to himself, if this place was suppressing an ancient dragon, so it was called the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace, then why would the Northern Dragon Suppressing Palace, one of the four great sects, take this name? Could it be that His Highness the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace also suppressed a dragon in the Extreme Northern Great Snowplains?
④
Of course, this speculation was utopian and useless. The Dragon Suppressing Palace had been ranked among the four main sects for tens of thousands of years. Up until now, everyone in the world had long been familiar with and accustomed to this name. As for its origins, few people would investigate. Perhaps only the disciples of the Dragon Suppressing Palace would know the origins of their own names now.
Shen Shi shook his head, no longer thinking about these illusory things. Now was not the time to think about these things. After walking past the stone stele, the passageway in front of him suddenly opened up. It was several times wider. However, it was not just a passageway that was several times wider. Instead, three passageways appeared behind the stone stele. Moreover, each of the passageways looked exactly the same. They were similarly constructed from azure-gray boulders.
Shen Shi stopped in shock and frowned. Was this really a labyrinth? However, when he looked left and right, he couldn’t see the difference between the three passages. Without any other choice, he could only try his luck and call Little Pig. After a moment of hesitation, he chose the middle passageway and walked over.
He only took a few steps forward, Suddenly, Little Hei shouted from behind. Shen Shi looked back with some surprise. Little Hei seemed to be somewhat confused in front of the three passageways. However, he seemed to have sensed something. He stood there and refused to move forward. Instead, he kept sniffing and sniffing. He looked at the left passageway, then at the right passageway, and finally at the middle passageway. He seemed to be hesitant.
Shen Shi’s eyes lit up. In this maze, he did not know if there was any danger ahead. If Little Black could discover anything, it would be as important as sending charcoal in the snow. He hurriedly walked to Xiao Hei’s side and reached out to gently touch its little pig head. However, seeing Xiao Hei smell and smell it, which had always been uncertain, Shen Shi couldn’t help but ask,
“What’s wrong? What do you smell?”
Little Hei paused for a moment before suddenly lifting the hoof on his right front leg and lightly tapping it on the ground.
Shen Shi’s expression changed as he raised his eyebrows slightly. He was slightly surprised and said, “What? You mean there are people from the Hou Clan nearby?”
